What’s the most interesting man doing in the most interesting city?

He once warned a psychic; he surfs the North Shore; even his enemies list him as their emergency contact. So what makes Dos Equis’s Most Interesting Man in the World character so darn interesting?

With his Bond swagger and Hemingway machismo, actor Jonathan Goldsmith aka The Most Interesting Man in the World showed his star power at Batangas Tapas + Drinks where he captivated a bevy of beauties with his devastating sea glass eyes while being envied by every male in the restaurant. Of course, Goldsmith’s one-liners have almost become as famous as his most recognizable looks. And this man of few words lent his fame and time to benefit several Houston charities — Houston Grand Opening Nights for Young Professionals, Boys & Girls Harbor and HYP Chamber of Commerce — during a Dos Equis-filled cocktail shindig. The Most Interesting Man in the World has visited Space City (aka “the coolest city” according to Forbes) before; he likes to hang with his buddy Johnny Vassallo and order a filet at his restaurant, Mo’s … A Place For Steaks.

Not to deflate the mystery behind the commercial hero; Goldsmith’s real-life bat cave does not include a Montenegro castle or cliffside estate in Malibu’s Colony but rather a quaint, southern Vermont abode. And he’s not a bachelor; he’s married to his manager, Barbara, who got him the Dos Equis gig in 2006. Surprisingly, you’re more likely to find Goldsmith sipping a martini with a twist or ordering a scotch neat — but yet when he drinks a beer he “chooses Dos Equis.”
